Employee Engagement - PDF Download [Thread 266031]

Hi:
I have compiled a write up on "Employee Engagement" with reference from various sources from the web.
I owe my sincere thanks to the scholars who helped me in preparing the write up without their knowledge.
Please do advice on various constructive ideas on the post.

Leadership Plays a very important role in Employee Engagement. All the Q12 factors mentioned having direct linkage with Leadership style.

Hi, very nice compilation... :-)

If You want to take it a little further I have some ideas... it's pretty clear what needs to be achieved, then again how do you do it?

1) There is the story about people not leaving their "job", they are in 80% of cases leaving a poor boss/bad management. Also, if you look at the Gallup question, in case the reply to those would be negative, who's job is it to fix them? The management's, I would say. Thus, the role of good management is essential in building committed and engaged workforce. Is it not?

2) Too much engagement may lead into burn-out, so I guess you should not over-do it anyway....? That is why there should be a balance - like the employer subsidised sporting facilities or what ever.

3) You are absolutely right "job satisfaction" and "loyalty" are different things. The most loyal wifes in the world are in Afghanistan, however they are probably not the most satisfied...

I can recommend some reading or sources to take another view:
- Peter Senge, "The Fifth Discipline" (pp. 203-204 especially) - about levels of commitment.
- Edward L. Deci, "Why We Do What We Do"(p. 36) - about rewards and recognition.
- Daniel Goleman, "Primal Leadership" (p.109 and p.218) - about Emotional Intelligent corporate culture and self-directed learning.

Thanks for the great post!

Hi pooja
Thanks for your comment. Sharing with you some materials on employee engagement which i have assembled from various sources.
All my appretiation to the knowledge workers who have contributed such resources.

Hiii,,,
Really a very good article... It gives a good perspective about the concept...
Even we are tryin number of activities in our organization... what I have observed is executing what we visualize is the biggest challenge....
HR has a very important role here to ensure the execution is as per visualization...
It will be great if anyone can throw light on this and share his personal experience of how some organization wide problem was identified and solved with such a intervention.. and also the major factors responsible for the success of this activity..
It will be very helpful if anyone can share such experience... failure experiences can also be shared...

Dear All
"A simple appretiation of the work done simply aids to a great output".
With this thought i expect all you knowledge workers to collectively share & participate with your valuable ideas & creative minds so that we can work towards improving our respective organization & contribute towards employee development.
This is how we can define HR in true sense....

Why do you want to just attach a questionnaire in your project report? What's the project about and where are you studying for what qualification?
Have a nice day.
